safeTalk Suicide Awareness Training 9/23
$10, registration required, includes lunch and snack https://www.facebook.com/events/1551982981524750 Glade United Church of Christ and The Frederick Center, Inc. will sponsor a suicide awareness workshop on September 23, 2017 from 9:00 am-12:30 pm at Evangelical Reformed United Church of Christ located at 15 W. Church St., Frederick, MD 21701 in downtown Frederick. Registrants will be advised of the meeting room in the church facility closer to the date. The training will be presented by LivingWorks, a national organization recognized by the Mental Health Association of Frederick County that is a leader in suicide intervention training. The program, safeTALK, focuses on alertness training and is geared toward participants aged 16 and older. Its premise is that most people with thoughts of suicide don’t truly want to die, but are struggling with physical and/or emotional pain in their lives. Through their words and actions, they invite those with whom they interact to provide help to stay alive. safeTALK-trained helpers can recognize these invitations and take action by connecting these individuals with life-saving intervention resources. Training features: Presentations and guidance from a LivingWorks registered trainer Access to support from a local community resource person Powerful audiovisual learning aids Review of simple yet effective TALK steps: Tell, Ask, Listen, and Keep Safe Hands-on skills practice and development Please fill out below application and mail it to Glade United Church of Christ, 21 Fulton St., Walkersville, MD 21793, Attn: safeTALK, with your $10 reservation fee.
